The New York Islanders begin their prospect camp this week — a return after it was axed/squeezed before preseason during the Lou era — and also prepare for free agency with a significant self-inflicted hole on their blueline.
There aren’t a lot of seriously desirable right-shooting defensemen UFAs out there, and the Isles did previously re-sign Adam Boqvist. They perhaps could also retain Tony DeAngelo, though there’s been no noise there.
On the RFA front, the Isles have Alex Romanov, Simon Holmstrom, Max Tsyplakov, newcomer Emil Heineman (and theoretically Scott Perunovich?) to deal with.

- But speaking of prospect camp, you are now allowed to attend (though you must RSVP), because the days of closing everything to fans in the name of culture are over.
